Can Immigration Offices in Thailand Grant Less Than 30 Days Extension on a Tourist Visa?

The information from the Thai Consulate in Dubai that immigration offices might grant less than the standard 30-day extension on a tourist visa is considered unusual by community members. While typically a tourist visa can be extended for 30 days at a fee of 1,900 baht, the final decision rests with the immigration officer, who has the discretion to approve or deny the request or possibly grant fewer than 30 days.
